Wikipedia photo Special Operations Command The Special Operations Command of the Philippine Army is the Command that is responsible for planning conducting and supporting special operations for the Philippine Army. Currently, units under SOCOM are the Special Forces Regiment (Airborne), First Scout Ranger Regiment and the Light Reaction Battalion. Sub-Commands During its establishment as SOCOM in the mid-90s it had three sub-commands, namely: the Special Forces Regiment (Airborne) that was tasked to plan for and conduct Unconventional Warfare Operations; the First Scout Ranger Regiment that was tasked to conduct special reconnaissance and direct action operations against high value targets; and, the Psy-Ops Group that was tasked to plan for and conduct psychological operations in designated areas. The Psy-Ops Group was later detached from SOCOM and was assigned to the Civil Military Operations Group, PA (CMOG, PA). Currently, SOCOM is composed of three combat units with distinct capabilities that perform various missions in the conduct of special operations, namely: The Special Forces Regiment (Airborne) The mission of this regiment is to organize, train, equip and provide rapidly deployable forces and conduct unconventional warfare in all types of operational environment in support of SOCOM's mission. The Special Forces specializes on the following: unconventional warfare, direct action; special reconnaissance; psychological warfare and mass base operations. The First Scout Ranger Regiment The mission of this regiment is to organize, train, equip and provide rapidly deployable forces and conduct special operations in support of SOCOM's mission. It’s core capabilities are: direct action, jungle warfare, special reconnaissance, and sniping operations. The Light Reaction Battalion The mission of this battalion is to conduct counter-terrorist operations in support of SOCOM's mission. LRB troops are skillfully trained on the following core capabilities: surgical close quarter battles and vertical insertion, hostage rescue and personnel recovery, elimination or capture of notorious terrorists, and target interdiction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Operations_Command_%28Philippines%29 photo credit: rangercabunzky.blogspot.com SOCOM Uniforms (L-R) Scout Ranger 1 & 2 (black digicammie & green digicammie), Special Forces Airborne, Light Reaction Batallion Edited by Flipzi, Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:57 am.

from Major Harold Magallanes Cabunoc (Philippine Army) FB page Sept. 18, 2013 Two soldiers of SOCOM paid the ultimate sacrifice while saving the remaining hostages from their captors last night. They were unflinching in accomplishing the mission. They knew the risks. They knew that bullets will greet them as they enter the enemy stronghold where the hostages were kept, but they did not say 'no' to the orders given to them. I knew these warriors. I occasionally meet them during our morning runs. I was with them during the CGPA invitational shootfest, showcasing their marksmanship skills. If you personally know the warriors who are summoned to heaven, you will share the pain of losing a brother and a loved one. I also share the pain experienced by their loved ones who allowed these brave soldiers to serve the country. I must thank all of them. They are my heroes too. I will honor them by sharing their story about heroism and sacrifices. Rest in peace my brothers! You have not died in vain. Hundreds of thousands of Zamboanguenos are rendering their snappy salute, together with millions more Filipinos around the world. Taps is sounded. (How I wish I could name them. It is not yet allowed as of this time. I would write about them and their exploits in the near future and share them in my blog.)
